Why we're doing this

Too many guys wait too long to talk about their health. Movember funds work on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention, and we want to put real sweat and real dollars behind it. Grow a Mo, fake a Mo, or just show up for the men in your life.

Is this for me?

Yes. If you've never heard of HYROX, pick Doubles and split the work with a friend, or pick Mo-dified for half the volume with anything scaled. If you're racing HYROX Vancouver in December, take the full Solo PFT and get a real benchmark six weeks out. Our coaches will be on the floor the whole time, and you'll get a quick standards briefing before you start.

Last year

Last November this community raised over $1,500 for Movember. Let's beat it.

FAQ

Do I need a moustache?
Nope. Grow one, draw one, stick one on, or come clean-shaven. Everyone is welcome.
I've never done HYROX. Will I survive?
Yes. Pick Doubles or Mo-dified and you'll finish smiling. Probably sweating. Definitely smiling.
Can friends and family come watch?
Please do. Spectators are free and cheering is mandatory.
Is there a silent auction?
Yes. Bid sheets are up in the gym from Nov 2 and bidding closes at 1:30 PM on event day. Winners are announced at the awards.
